White Collar Crime Melville NY
Long Island Criminal Defense Lawyers
The term “white collar crime” took root after Edwin Sutherland gave a speech in 1939, using the phrase to describe "crime committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of his occupation."
In the United States, white collar crime today generally refers to a wide variety of nonviolent crimes businessmen, public officials and other professionals commit, using deceptive schemes for financial gain.
Federal, New York State and Local Jurisdiction
State and federal laws govern white collar crimes. New York state agencies and an array of federal agencies from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), U.S. Customs, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), to name a few examples, are actively involved in white collar crime investigations and enforcement.

White collar crimes are typically federal felony offenses and have severe consequences for convictions. An experienced attorney can frequently negotiate with prosecutors to reduce the punishments, when the defendant is willing to take responsibility for the acts he committed and assist authorities in advancing a state or federal investigation. Typical punishments for white collar crime convictions include a combination of fines, forfeitures, restitution, prosecution costs, home detention, supervised release, and imprisonment.
